does Ted Cruz count?

He's a bully and in power, so Fleddy Teddy is fair game.

Except that when seeking to discourage delusional thinking held by people hostile to ones own belief system, not many tools exist. Satire is one of the more powerful and is appropriate. People who degrade themselves with lies, AND are not interested in the real truth, or in getting psychiatric help, should be discouraged with whatever means remain available. Satire may not be kindly, but religious 'freedom' doesn't leave many options. The freedom to lie to oneself irresponsibly should be called out, and these people cannot be approached in a mature, rational way, hence, satire. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I assume you are talking about the religious, who happen to be in power. How would they not be fair game for satire?

@glennlab Actually I sought to reference the all ranks of the religious, including the less empowered. The religious people who are in power should be criticized in every way possible for their foibles.

In my view, we should only give power to those that have established their rationality AND their Humanity. Tragically, Trump and his ilk had neither. We all qualify as insane to have allowed it.

hmm, an interesting prop, but there is a line that is hard to see in that i think?
"i'm in pain here, and you're laughing?"
"well, you just hit your thumb with a hammer, after turning down a nail-tee for that tight spot" or whatever

Posted by CliffordCookDonald Trump is so Bible, when he saw the lilies of the field that do not work or worry, he called them evil Marxists and promised to root them out like the vermin they are.

Posted by CliffordCookDonald Trump is so Bible, when he heard it would be easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to go to heaven, he just had a gigantic needle built to ride his camel ...
